Iran is significantly expanding its illicit financial networks and aggressive international posture, reportedly with growing backing from Russia and China. This development builds on previous intelligence of Russian military collaboration, with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy now specifically accusing Russia of providing intelligence support. Concurrently, China is alleged to be helping Iran's Revolutionary Guards profit from illicit crude sales, alongside a sharp rise in Iran's cryptocurrency activity linked to the IRGC, underscoring a well-resourced and globally aggressive Iranian regime involved in actions like attacking foreign embassies.
